Title: Missing parking lots on Maxis Local Library.
Post by: Flash on January 15, 2009, 12:41:55 AM
Hello All,

Just as the name implies, I'm missing the parking lot on the Local library that I had not long ago. Anyone have any idea how I can put them back in? I have been adding in stuff lately and I don't think there is a conflict but there might be.

Can we have a picture, please? The question is a bit vague especially as it is a Maxis lot.

What size of picture should I use? My resolution is 1920 x 1200.

Oh and it is affecting the police station as well.

Here is some of the buildings missing parking lots and possibly other items.

Your settings in the "Settings" menu have been set to "Low", probably by installing the EA/Maxis updates for the game. Turn them up to "High" to see all the details on the lots and in your cities.

After doing some checking here is a few things I have noticed.

1. Defrag had no effect.
2. It effects every city and region, regardless of size.
3. I really think it is mainly a parking lot issue. But could be wrong. Seems to be very specific.

Question, Is there any way to figure out if there is a conflict with the textures on the Maxis lots? or if they are being overwritten?

I noticed that there is no button checked as to what resolution you are set at. I tried to unset all of my resolution options and could not. Could this mean anything? &mmm

High5Tower,

I'm running a custom resolution, 1920 x 1200.

Can't you try with city details set to high ? It's look like you're in medium

wouanagaine,

That actually worked, thanks.

It still amazes me the differences in detail between custom content and Maxis buildings. I had to set the detail to high in order to see a parking lot. Jeepers.

How does the detail level affect the custom content?
